Value Manager Lawrence Chin Graphic_rating_sell FL
+30.42%
in 815 days

Morningstar in Canada profiles Lawrence Chin, co-manager of the Mackenzie Cundill American Class fund.

The article mentions two stocks I own:

One is DirecTV Group (DTV/NYSE), which has done well since being bought but has suffered recently. The other is Foot Locker (FL/NYSE), which has fallen in price since being purchased:

<> <> Among the stocks that meet Chin's requirements is Foot Locker, <> a top holding in the fund. He likes this sports apparel retailer because of its strong brand presence, clean balance sheet and cheap valuation. Since he made the initial purchase last ...

Getting Kicked by Foot Locker FL
-19.37%
in 16 days
(closed on 08/16/07)

Talk about timing. A few days after buying Foot Locker Inc. (FL/US) the company forecasts its first loss in six years and the stock hits its lowest price in 3-1/2 years.

There is some good news.

The company has officially confirmed hiring Lehman Brothers to advise it on selling itself. Foot Locker said in a statement that it has received inquiries from buyout firms, but a company spokesperson declined further comment.

Getting kicked by the stock price so soon after buying the company is no fun. But it's way too early to call this a stomping. ;-)

Foot Locker Graphic_rating_sell FL

<>

As stated in my previous post , I bought Foot Locker Inc. (FL/NYSE) on Wednesday and the shares ended the day at $20.87. Foot Locker is the largest special athletic footwear retailer in the US and one of the largest in the world.

The stock has suffered recently because of unfavorable prospects for the industry in general, and because of weak results for Foot Locker itself. I see these as near-to-intermediate term challenges and anyone investing in Foot Locker with a time frame up to 5 years will be rewarded.

<> Foot Locker has a market cap above $3 billion with more than 155 ...

Stocks Going Ex Dividend during the Last Half of July
Tradinggoddess
 5 %
If you want to try the stock trading technique called 'Buying Dividends,' which is the process of buying stocks before the ex dividend date and selling the stock shortly after the ex date at about the same price, yet still being entitled to the dividend, there are many stocks to choose from. This technique generally works only in bull markets.

When you buy dividends, there are many stocks in many different sectors to choose from. In order to be entitled to the dividend, you have to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date, and you can't sell the stock until after the ex date. The actual div...

Barron's Favorable Feature on Foot Locker
<>

The saying that value investing is like watching paint dry or grass grow is certainly true. Months and even years go by with very little to say about portfolio holdings.

<>One example is my position in Foot Locker (FL). I bought the stock because it had a rock-solid balance sheet. But it had made some mishaps in merchandising and I got in at what I thought was a beaten-down price. Then the Panic of 2008 hit and the stock price cratered, as did just about all my holdings (except for DirecTV and Fairfax Financial). I held Foot Locker because the balance sheet appeared to be holding up and the co...

The week in preview: Earnings season winds down

Filed under: Earnings reports, Forecasts, Economic data

<>While the release of economic data doesn't stop next week (see economic schedule highlights below), the earnings season does wind down dramatically. Most of the S&P 500 companies already have reported on the past quarter, which means dismal earnings news is largely behind us, at least for a while. About the only companies of note expected by analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters to report falling earnings this week are Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ: COST), Wendy's/Arby's Group Inc. (NYSE: WEN), Foot Locker Inc. (NYSE: FL), <>Bank of Montr...
